Watcher's Council nominations: "Failure of leadership" Edition!

To contact us Click HERE
TweetThe fiscal cliff deal that passed in both the Senate and the House was a colossal failure of leadership from the Right and a masterful piece of politics from the Left!

The ultimate loser of course, as usual, are the American people who at some point in the future will pay a large price for both of these things.

An article yesterday at TPC titled "Prison lingo describing the majority of Senate and House Republicans! (Rated PG-13)" provided the "new fish" jail equivalent of the Republican legislators who bent over backwards capitulating to the Democrats.

And now without further ado, for the week of December 31, 2012, the article nominations from the Watcher's Council!
